It's very interesting that Laowa Argus would offer this new lens for Canon EOS M. Perhaps they know something we don't about what Canon's EOS M plans are?

It is being offered for Canon EF-M, Canon RF, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts. Basically, every APS-C mirrorless mount. As a strictly manual focus lens with no electrical contacts, adapting the design to various systems is a trivial process of just bolting on a different mount.

Then again, why bother with EF-M ?

They tried it on a M50II and saw how easy it was to use with the focus peaking and digital magnify features and thought wow what a sweet combo ?

All of the systems have those capabilities, and many had it well before Canon.

About a bazillion M50 and M50II cameras out there too ?

I only know about Canon focus peaking.

First tried it on a M with ML.  Did not like that ML made the camera run warm and the battery ran down faster.

The focus peaking on the M100 was the first to dazzle me using my TS 35mm.

It is brighter and more useful on my M50 and M50II.

The focus peaking performance is also tied to the sharpness setting in the selected picture style.  Not ideal.

I wonder which camera brand or model has the best, easiest to use manual focus tools ?
